Target Addressing With Multi-Segment Routing for Moving Targets
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing addressing systems fail to accurately and efficiently guide users, vehicles, and service providers to dynamic or changing targets, particularly individuals, within complex environments like buildings or parks, due to the lack of precise location tracking and multi-segmented routing capabilities.
Innovation Solution
A target addressing system that determines a vehicle stopping location different from the target location, using a multi-segmented route with components like vehicle stopping logic, sub-region addressing, and target tracing to guide users or vehicles to dynamic targets, incorporating databases for virtual vehicle stopping spaces and sub-region information to optimize routes based on context and availability.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If a typical reverse geocoding operation is used to return an address for a location, then the addressing system is simple, but it fails to accurately guide users or vehicles to dynamic targets in complex environments
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the addressing system into multiple components: reverse geocoding module, forward geocoding module, multi-segmented routing engine, and target tracing system. Each component handles specific aspects of the addressing process, enabling precise location tracking and routing to dynamic targets while maintaining manageable system complexity through modular design
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements dynamic addressing by continuously updating target locations through real-time tracking and using multi-segmented routes that can be adjusted as targets move. The routing engine recalculates paths dynamically based on current target positions, enabling accurate guidance to moving objects rather than static addresses
2Adaptability or versatility
If a direct route to the target is used, then the routing is simple, but it cannot accommodate vehicle stopping requirements or complex environmental constraints
Solution Approach 1:
The routing system divides the path to the target into multiple segments with intermediate stopping points. Instead of a single direct route, the system calculates a sequence of waypoints that accommodate vehicle constraints, parking requirements, and environmental factors, making the routing adaptable to complex scenarios
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces intermediary stopping points and virtual addresses as mediators between the vehicle and the final target. These intermediate locations serve as transition points that reconcile vehicle routing constraints with the need to reach dynamic targets, adding flexibility without requiring direct point-to-point navigation
3Measurement precision
If real-time location tracking and multi-segmented routing are implemented, then navigation precision is improved, but computational resources and processing time increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary calculations by pre-computing multiple potential routing segments and storing them for quick retrieval. When tracking a dynamic target, the system selects from pre-prepared route segments rather than calculating entire paths from scratch, reducing real-time computational burden while maintaining precision
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements partial updates by recalculating only the relevant segments of the route when target positions change, rather than recomputing the entire path. This selective recalculation approach maintains accurate tracking of dynamic targets while minimizing unnecessary computational overhead and processing time
Data Source
AI summary
A computing system can receive a service request from a computing device of a given user. The system can select an entrance from multiple entrances for a geographic area associated with the service request, and determine a sequence of instructions for a driver of a vehicle to fulfill the service request.
